Abstract

The book Common Culture provides a wealth of examples of young people's use of cultural commodities and the cultural media. These uses can be classified under the categories of symbolic work, symbolic creativity, and symbolic extension; in sum amounting to the resources and practices of an emerging common culture. These categories, engaging analytically with common culture, produce further refinements of received notions of 'work', 'post-modernism' and 'aesthetics', which, in their turn, further sensitize us to, and help us understand, important dynamics of change within late modern 'lived culture'.
